The Home Issue
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home.
We are certainly greatful to be a part of your home each month and to share the hearts and lives of others with each of you.
”Home is the nicest word there is.” - Laura Ingalls Wilder
”The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.” - Confucius
”Home is what you take with you, not what you leave behind.” - N.K. Jamisin
“Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
No matter what “home” means to you, these quotes are sure to resonate feelings of being at peace and secure in your special space.
The concept of home is universal, however we all define home differently. Uncovering the root meaning of “home” I found that this idea of hearts and home being connected is actually the foundation in the history of the word. The Old English word ham - (not the pig) - refers to a village or estate where many “souls” are gathered. It implies there’s a physical dwelling involved, but the main idea is that it’s a gathering of people. Whether you are in your space alone, with your ever so loyal pet, special friends, your children or even your grandchildren - home is the abiding place of the affections. It’s not a building or a room, but a place where your love dwells.
Below I share a verse that emphasizes the importance of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in building a strong home. One built on these virtues is one that thrives, not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally.
The “rare and beautiful treasures” mentioned are not only material things, but the love, peace and faith that fill a home when it is built on godly principles. After all, the hearts that enter its doorway are what truly define a HOME.
“By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.”
Proverbs 24:3-4

THE PARK CITIES PITMASTER
From fine dining to every Dallasite’s’ favorite curbside BBQ, Chef Kent Rathbun knows no bounds.
ARTICLE BY LAUREN STONE
Chef Kent Rathbun’s story is one of constant reinvention—a journey that has taken him from high-end French kitchens to the backyard BBQ pits of Texas, all while keeping his roots firmly planted in the heart of Dallas. As a decadeslong member of the Park Cities community, Rathbun’s
Chef Kent Rathbun
“For our family, food wasn’t just about eating—it was about sharing it with friends and family, and that sense of community has always been a big part of my passion for cooking.”
impact on the local dining scene has been nothing short of remarkable.
Long before Rathbun electrified the Dallas culinary scene with his fine dining establishments and adventurous approach to flavor, his love of food began in the kitchen of his childhood home. “I’d have to say it all started with my parents,” Rathbun recalls. “They were both big on entertaining, so I grew up around food and hospitality. For our family, food wasn’t just about eating—it was about sharing it with friends and family, and that sense of community has always been a big part of my passion for cooking.”
His mother, who worked in the restaurant business, exposed him to the world of fine dining early on, allowing Rathbun to experience top-tier chefs and exceptional food from a young age. Then, at just
17 years old, he took his first professional step in the culinary world as an apprentice at La Bonne Auberge, a five-star French restaurant in Kansas City.
It’s no secret that Rathbun’s name is synonymous with fine dining in Dallas. His restaurant Abacus was an iconic part of the city’s culinary scene for 17 years, drawing in loyal patrons from all over. But fine dining wasn’t the only style in the Rathbun household—his father was a great backyard chef, and introduced him to Kansas City-style BBQ. So when COVID struck, Rathbun pivoted, embracing his roots and the emerging trend of curbside dining with his new venture: Rathbun Curbside BBQ.
“BBQ has always been a passion of mine, dating back to when I was a kid,” he shares. “When the pandemic hit, we were all just looking for something to
do. A couple of us had smokers, so we decided to start smoking meats for folks who couldn’t dine in. What I didn’t expect was how quickly it would take off.”
What started as a pandemic project quickly turned into a booming business, with the curbside venture generating over $1.2 million in sales in its first year—and that’s with operating only two days a week. “Eventually, we had to shift to a full-fledged catering operation, and now, Rathbun Curbside BBQ is a full-service catering company, handling everything from small gatherings to large events,” Rathbun says.
Combining his Kansas City roots with his love of Texas-style BBQ, Rathbun Curbside BBQ is a fusion of the two, highlighting the bold flavors and spices of the Southwest. “What really sets our BBQ apart, though, is the level of care we put into every detail— from the meats to the sides and the bread,” he says. “Everything we serve is something I’d be proud to put on the menu at any of my restaurants.”
Rathbun’s exquisite craftsmanship and commitment to quality ingredients is what makes his BBQ offerings so sought after in the competitive Dallas food scene. For instance, he’s particularly proud of his Steak and Chop Garlic Salt—a seasoning blend he dubs “gold dust.” “It’s the perfect mix of salt, cracked black pepper and garlic,” he says. Available at Central Market and online, it’s a secret weapon that elevates many of his dishes.
There’s also the “Morganrita,” a fan-favorite margarita that has taken on a life of its own. Rathbun credits his good friend Morgan Palmer for its creation. “Morgan was a regular at Rathbun Curbside BBQ, and he wanted to create a margarita that would pair perfectly with our BBQ,” he recalls. What started as a special request quickly became a staple at Rathbun’s restaurants,
“What really sets our BBQ apart, though, is the level of care we put into every detail—from the meats to the sides and the bread.”
including Lovers Seafood Market and Shinsei. With high-quality ingredients and a balanced flavor profile, the Morganrita has become a hit with diners and a perfect complement to Rathbun’s flavorful offerings.
From the 1999 opening of Abacus to the creation of Rathbun Curbside BBQ, and everything in between, the Park Cities community has wholeheartedly embraced Rathbun’s innovative approach to dining. In turn, Rathbun is passionate about supporting the community who’s loyalty has helped his businesses thrive. “Giving back is something that’s always been important to me,” he shares. “We’ve been lucky enough to have the public’s support for so many years, and it feels right to return that by supporting causes
that matter.” His charitable efforts span a wide range of causes, from the North Dallas Food Bank and March of Dimes to the Cattle Baron’s Ball and American Heart Association.
When asked about what’s next for him, Rathbun is vague but optimistic. “I’ve been traveling a lot recently, and I’ve developed a huge appreciation for traditional Argentine Asado,” he says. His curiosity for new flavors and techniques keeps him exploring. “I’m also a big fan of Mexican cuisine, so who knows? There are always new ideas on the horizon.”
With his ever-expanding culinary empire and his genuine connection to the community, Chef Rathbun’s legacy in Dallas is firmly secured, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
STAGING THAT SELLS: TURNING Houses into Homes
FOUNDER OF THE STAGED COLLECTIVE ELIZABETH SCHRAMME USES A TAILORED, DESIGN-FORWARD APPROACH TO HOME STAGING IN THE PARK CITIES.

Elizabeth Schramme
When it comes to home staging, the right decision can make or break a sale, but it’s more than just filling a property with furniture. According to seasoned designer and founder of Dallas-based home staging service The Staged Collective, Elizabeth Schramme, “Staging is not just about making a home look beautiful—it’s about telling a story that allows potential buyers to envision their lives in the space.”
Under Schramme’s keen eye, The Staged Collective offers an intuitive, client-focused approach that combines design expertise with a deep understanding of the real estate market. “The inspiration came from my belief in the transformative power of design and my desire to elevate the home-selling experience,” she says. “After spending over a decade in the high-end furniture and design industry, I saw firsthand how beautifully curated spaces could evoke emotion, create connection and ultimately influence decision-making. I realized that the same principles could be applied to home staging—where the goal is not just to furnish a space, but to tell a story that resonates with buyers.”
The Park Cities real estate market, known for its competitive nature, requires homes to stand out—and staging can be the difference between a quick sale and one that lingers on the market. “I’ve seen firsthand how staging can impact a sale,” Schramme shares.
Photographer Patrick Flores, Builder Tanner Homes
“I’ve worked with homes that sat empty for months and then sold for 20% over asking price after being staged. When a home is staged well, it helps buyers emotionally connect with the space, which is often the key to driving interest and competitive offers.”
With architectural styles ranging from grand, traditional estates to sleek, modern homes, working in the Park Cities has inspired Schramme to stretch her creativity and adaptability. “My approach starts with understanding both the home’s style and the lifestyle of its potential buyer,” she says. “We don’t rely on a cookie-cutter formula or one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we take the time to understand each property’s architecture, location and target market.”
For example, staging a bachelor’s pad might call for a sleek, modern aesthetic, while a family home might require a design that’s both functional and chic.
According to Schramme, creating a universally appealing space is at the heart of what makes staging effective. While every project by The Staged Collective is highly customized, there are a few key ways Schramme ensures a space is warm, inviting and engaging for everyone. She starts with a foundation of larger, neutral furniture, then builds a different story around each home by layering textures and materials, and adding pillows, art and accessories.
welcoming and livable, while still maintaining a broad appeal that lets buyers envision their own style in the space.” Her curated inventory of furnishings and accessories, combined with a collaborative approach with realtors and homeowners, ensures each project is tailored to highlight the property’s best features.
In addition to the physical transformation of a home, Schramme’s design philosophy is deeply rooted in the emotional aspect of selling a property. “Staging is about crafting an atmosphere that’s inviting and emotionally engaging,” she says. “That moment when you step into a staged home and instantly feel its potential is what drives my creativity and passion for this work.”
“The goal is not just to furnish a space, but to tell a story that resonates with buyers.”
As a mother of young children, Schramme’s ability to juggle a successful business with the demands of motherhood has not only shaped her perspective on life but has also influenced her design philosophy. “Being a mom in the Park Cities has given me a unique perspective on balancing beauty with practicality,” she reflects. “It’s about selecting pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also fit seamlessly into an active, family-oriented lifestyle. My goal is to create homes that inspire families to see the potential of their living spaces—not just as places to live, but as places to thrive.”
“These smaller elements allow me to infuse personality and warmth into the space, whether that’s through pops of color, organic materials or thoughtful decorative touches,” she says. “This layering process ensures the home feels
For Schramme, the work she does with The Staged Collective is more than just business—it’s a passion for design, a love of storytelling and a belief in the transformative power of creating spaces that feel like home.

KEY SECRETS FOR A SPARKLING HOME
A SPRING KIND OF CLEAN
TIP #1 Freshen up the Kitchen
A fresh, clean kitchen impacts the entire home. To freshen up the sink, Kim says, “Run hot water while pouring in equal parts of baking soda and white vinegar through the disposal. Follow with a few drops of blue Dawn Dishwashing soap to cut away any grease buildup. Sharpen the disposal blades by running cooler water and ice through it. For a fresh smell, grind a few slices of lemon, lime or orange, removing any seeds first.”
To clean everything else in the kitchen, including counters and stainless-steel appliances, use a microfiber cloth and a solution of 2-3 drops of Dawn mixed with water.
TIP #2 Spruce up the Living Room
The living room also deserves special attention. Kim says, “Start by pulling furniture away from the walls, vacuuming and dusting behind it. Make sure you dust air vents as well. Then, pull all of the furniture cushions off to vacuum underneath and in crevices. It’s always good to rotate and fluff cushions too.”
To banish dust from your furniture, Kim suggests using a good microfiber cloth that is slightly damp instead of furniture polish, which can leave a build-up on furniture that actually attracts dust.
TIP #3 Brighten up Windows
Brighten up your whole home by intentionally focusing on the windows. “Homeowners often forget about the inside of the window,” says Kim. “They dust the blinds or the shutters, but when the blinds are pulled up, the windows often have dust or a film on them.” Kim suggests cleaning the inside of the windows on a cloudy day to reduce streaks. “A good glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth works really well. If you still have streaks, try using a little bit of rubbing alcohol.”

WITH OVER 70 YEARS OF HVAC EXPERIENCE, THE DAMASCUS TEAM IS A RELIABLE BREATH OF FRESH AIR IN THE PARK CITIES
BLESSED RELIEF: DAMASCUS AIR
Weather in Texas can be extraordinarily fickle. Having an experienced, trustworthy HVAC company on speed dial can make all the difference in the world during a cold winter or sweltering summer.
Ask owner Dillon Cripps what his clients might say about his company, Damascus Air, if he wasn’t standing in the room with them, and he’ll confidently say:
values trust, and strong relationships, Dillion and his Damascus Air employees believe the company’s legendary to dedication to transparency and integrity stand out. “Additionally, we are committed to treating each customer as though they’re a member of our family,” he says.
The overarching Damascus Air philosophy is simple, yet refreshingly direct: “We are ‘doing life’ with our customers,” he says. “Many times, I find myself
“WE SPECIALIZE IN TAILORED, HIGH-END SERVICE, CATERING TO CLIENTS WITH BUSY LIVES, ALL IN A TRUSTWORTHY, FAMILY-ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT.”
“They’d probably say they can count on us to be honest, reliable, and thorough. They might mention that we treat them with respect, take the time to explain options, and never pressure anyone into unnecessary work,” or that, “We make them feel like more than just customers by genuinely caring about their comfort and following up to ensure everything is working as it should.”
Most of all, Dillon says, they’ll likely describe Damascus Air as a dependable team that values their customers’ trust and always strives to “do right by their clients.”
Based in Royse City, Dillon, his wife Crystal, and Damascus Air serve the needs of homeowners throughout Dallas-Fort Worth, including the Park Cities. “Local expertise with a personal touch” is part of their company mantra. “We’re not a big, impersonal chain,” says Dillon proudly. “We’re part of the community, so we understand the specific needs of homes in the area. Our solutions are tailored to keep systems running smoothly and homes comfortable, no matter the season.”
Many Park Cities residents have demanding schedules, so stressing the convenience of reliable, on-time service always resonates with Damascus Air clients. “We offer priority scheduling for clients with our maintenance agreements, and or same-day service for emergencies,” says Dillon.
Faith-based, family-oriented and focused on credibility in a North Texas community that
with a client, talking about life, sharing blessings, or exchanging advice, conversations far beyond HVAC issues. It’s in those moments, I think, ‘And we thought this was just about AC service?’”
Dillon says such situations are vivid reminders that what Damascus Air does is more than a job, it’s a calling. “I truly love this work and feel blessed to serve others while living out my purpose,” he says.
“We treat our customers like family, focused on building lasting relationships, not just making a quick buck.”
As a tenured business with experienced employees and deep roots in DFW, Dillon says he understands the challenges homeowners face, which is why he offers honest, dependable service with no gimmicks or high-pressure sales tactics attached.
“It’s not about pushing products, it’s about earning trust, providing the right solutions, and keeping homes comfortable for years to come.”
Damascus Air specializes in residential and commercial HVAC repairs and services. “Our focus is on building lasting relationships by delivering dependable service that gives you peace of mind, knowing your comfort is always our top priority,” says Dillon, who boasts repeat customers that go back two decades. “It isn’t just about fixing HVAC systems … it’s about providing peace of mind and comfort to our community.”
